Nymph is a practical
pocket cruiser that was designed as (and succeeded in being) a phenomenal liveboard for the
San Francisco Bay and
Delta waters.
The
fiberglass hull is that of an
Alberg 30. It was built by H-L
Marine in
San Carlos, CA (# 1 of 5). It has a fully encapsulated lead
keel weighing 4,200 lbs with a total
displacement of 12,000 lbs.
The deck/cabin was intended essentially to be a pilothouse (less the internal helm), maximizing
headroom, volume and visibility from the
interior. It is complete with a hard
dodger and a hinged
companionway that has a 2-piece door (the lower half designed to be locked into place as a bridgedeck to reduce the cabin’s exposure at sea).
The vessel is powered by a freshwater cooled inboard
Yanmar 3GM30F
diesel that has tons of life left with only 3,799 hours on the clock. Tankage capacity is large for a 30'er, with a 50 gallon
holding tank, 35 gallon
water tank and two
diesel tanks, one 32 gallon and another 18 gallon.
The
rigging can be used either as a
sloop in it’s
current configuration, or put on the mizzen sail and use it as a yawl. The
genoa lives on a ProFurl
furler which spins smoothly. The
mainsail utilizes a Mack Pack which makes deploying and recovering the sail a very quick operation.
Everything about the vessel has been designed for practicality. All sail control lines and handling can be done from the
cockpit in relative comfort and
safety. The two
aluminum Lewmar self-tailing winches are in pristine condition. The mainsheet uses pulleys which eliminates clutter and tripping points in the
cockpit. The
wheel steer
helm uses a clamshell
shroud and
panels which can be opened up for
maintenance work. The vessel was outfitted for use with an
Autohelm ST4000 but there is not one included.
There is adequate included ground tackle including a sizeable danforth style
anchor built of
stainless steel mounted on the stern rail.
This vessel is 100% ready to set sail today. As expected there is some non-structural cosmetic
work inside and out that would benefit from attention, including some of the
wood paneling and a bit of
paint. A couple of the
aluminum framed
portlights could use a resealing. The
dodger is missing a few of it’s
portlights, some of the
parts are included. Nymph
is a very capable vessel that can take you anywhere comfortably. Nymph
is not a show
boat.
The vessel is currently slipped in Bair Island Marina (Redwood City, California). The slip fee is $400 and my understanding is that the slip can be acquired upon application approval with the office.
